摘要
Moxibustion at Shenque (RN 8) for three weeks had no effect on the content of EGF (epidermic growth factor) in plasma, but significantly incresased the totoal amount of EGF in 2h’s gastric juice (P<0. 01 ); After salivoectomy, the concentration of EGF ingastric juice decreased significantly and moxibustion could not recover it. Moxibustion for three weeks in advance could accelerate the healing process of the acetic acid-produced gastric ulcer (P< 0. 05). Salivoectomy obviously weakened the gastric cytoprotective effect of moxibustion. The results suggest that the gastric cytoprotective effect of moxibustion may relate to its stimulation of secretion of EGF by salivary gland.
